Every once in a while, you stumble on something that is just pure magic; a theatrical experience that has you smiling from lights up to lights down. Originally commissioned by Dixon Place and with a grant from the Jim Henson Foundation, work began on Bill’s 44th in 2020 only to be delayed by COVID. Check out our review by Nicole Jesson.

This play is her phoenix from the ashes. Smart, funny, honest and sincere, Star Stone tells us how she lost her name, and most of her self-worth. Check out our review written by Nicole Jesson.

Let’s face it, when we’re happy, we’re too busy being happy! Artists look for ways to explain the unexplainable, to cope with the unimaginable, and to go through the grief, the fear and the gamut of emotions to let others know they aren’t alone. Donald Rupe's From Here reminds us that. Check out our review written by Nicole Jesson.

Sophie McIntosh has touched upon something bigger. Our reviewer, Amanda Montoni says this about cunnicularii: “I have not had children, but as a person who has lost herself in a role she played for the sake of someone else, I very much appreciate Sophie and Nina Goodheart's work on cunnicularii. It’s so easy to lose sight of ourselves and our health when we have any form of a relationship. Sophie makes it a point to say through a Mother and Child, that we do not own each other. We do not belong to each other. We simply belong. Together.” Read the full review here!

Dear readers, shake off the day, relax and let the troupe do all the work. Let them create at a fevered pace for your enjoyment. Indulge in one of the beverages on hand. Fear not that you missed last night’s performance, for this talented troupe will create another, and another and another. As You Will will leave you as happy as you will.

This 80-minute play isn’t without its twists and turns. “You waited until minute 67 to tell me!?!” I watched the practice of happiness - practice - something we’re all working towards. And I witnessed such a moment of pure joy: when someone finds their truth. Check out our review of Asexuality! A Solo Musical, written by Nicole Jesson.

Success and validation are such a tightrope. We all dance it and try to balance it. What is this all for anyway? Then there’s the fulfillment of it all. The struggle is real. Tarek Ziad tell us his thoughts. Give Me the MacArthur Genius Fellow is an entertaining, well-written, introspective, and interactive performance piece that questions the definition of success.

This sharp rendition was written by Amina Henry and directed by Michole Biancosino. Smart and contemporary, beautifully and cleverly costumed by Summer Lee Jack, the ensemble all takes its turn making up the over abundant rat population. Miller J. Kraps sparkles as the piper who is betrayed by the town and goes from savior to sinister. Great fun for the whole family.

The moment Malini walked into TheatreLab’s white box; she knew exactly where she was. Yi-Hsuan (Ant) Ma attention to details was spot on. The audience was all in before the show singing along with Erykah Badu and Mary J. Blige. The L-shaped seating made us feel like flies on the wall getting all the tea. Check out our review of Push Party, written by Malini!

How To Eat an Orange by Catherine Filloux is an intimate, soaring one-woman show that showcases an entirely different perspective of those who endured the military junta in Buenos Aires. So many disappeared - but who is there when their bodies reappear? We found out at The Downstairs at LaMama. Check out our review written by Niranjani Reddi.

Three Chickens Confront Existence is not the play you would expect. At least, it wasn’t the play our reviewer, Niranjani Reddi, was expecting at all.

The power of creativity shooting right into hearts and minds. That is what Persona Metropolitana did. The show, as part of the In Scena Festival, started with a simple yet philosophical question and it only got deeper. Empathy and compassion drove this 60-minute original work, and it showed. Check out our review written by Amanda Montoni.

Paul wants to bring them back – all of them - 41 people to be exact - not including random people he didn’t know by name like someone he used to see at the gym. Check out our review of Bring Them Back, written by Nicole Jesson.

Despite the references to Kafka’s work sprinkled throughout, it felt more like a experience that was supposed to feel disturbing, rather than a truly disturbing exploration of the themes presented in “Metamorphosis”. Yes, the setting of a corporate retreat was indeed extremely intelligent at the Studio Exhibit Photography Studios, but at a certian point, the setting constrained the piece. Check out our review written by Niranjani Reddi.

As the daughter of an Italian immigrant, it was refreshing to walk into the Casa Italiana building at NYU to hear the sweet sounds of the Italian language floating through the air into my ear drums. I was greeted by “ciaos” and “buona seras,” instantly transported to Italy right here in Greenwich Village, NYC. As part of In Scena! Italian Theater Festival NY, the performance I arrived to see was a special one-time presentation. Check out our review of Opera Buffa! written by Amanda Montoni.

New plays need lots of audiences. They are like plants. You need to learn what is going to make them thrive, and what needs to get cut away so its energy is used more efficiently. There’s a lot of potential in Redemption Story, and maybe its home isn't the theatre. Check out our review written by Nicole Jesson.

Marianas Trench is the first play in Sickles’ The Second World Trilogy. Densely and dynamically written, the play could have been as easily set in an historical setting as easily as it has been in our fictional future. Check out our review written by Nicole Jesson.

Was this show “infotaiment”? Or perhaps the show was more reminiscent of the later satirical monologues of the late, great George Carlin. But this wasn’t satire. This was a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. Check out our review of Whore’s Eye View written by Nicole Jesson.

Missed Clown Bar (1)? Don’t worry – they’ll catch you up quick enough. Don’t know anything about the Clown Crime Syndicate? Don’t worry about that either. Are you afraid of clowns? This is our review of Clown Bar 2 at the Parkside Lounge written by Nicole Jesson. There’s song. There’s dance. There’s Super-Soakers and Bubbles.

So, a Greek, a Lebanese, and a Mexican walk into a laundromat may sound like the beginning of a cliché but what we are asked to do is listen and examine our own journeys. Anyone can identify with these women in Lost Sock Laundry, Ivan Faute's new play staged at the Fort Washington Collegiate Church. Check out our review by Malini Singh McDonald.
